I can start a new Xordle thread if there’s enough people interested?

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 27/11/2022 16:50

Just tried xordle but I didn’t get it. Got all green with a ‘Huh?’ next to it and had no idea what that meant. Just thought it was a word I hadn’t heard of.

Sunbird24 · 27/11/2022 16:53

@BrilliantGreenFlamingo there are two different words in the same grid - when it says “Huh?” it means you’ve made a real third word using a mix of letters from the two words you’re seeking.
For example if the two words were TRUTH and FILMY but you guessed FILTH. Does that help?

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 27/11/2022 17:32

Yes, that does help immensely thanks. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Floralnomad · 27/11/2022 18:21

I’ve just had my first attempt at Xordle and got both words but on the bottom 2 guesses , will definitely try again .

Not hugely fast but quite a nice one i thought!

Floralnomad · 28/11/2022 00:35

2:00 , took awhile to get going and had a few goes at the PW .

I had 1A wrong to start which slowed me down a little. Not a bad one though

Hepzibar · 28/11/2022 06:39

Not bad today, feels quite good that my times are similar to others now 😀

Ditto. Which scuppered my strategy!
And then loads of typos.

I’m completely stuck today. Can’t get a single clue. Have already googled exant.

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 28/11/2022 15:55

11:44 and I had to Google almost every clue. Just couldn’t get my head in it today.

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 28/11/2022 16:04

tried xordle again and I’m totally useless at it. So don’t think I’ll join the other thread

I’ll give it one more go. And then give up. I fear it may end up being liken redactle. Annoying, too hard and not fun!

It did help if you know the context. I had to Google to understand it - showing my age 🫣

I struggled with a couple of the CW clues today, and had 1 wrong letter in the grid that I had to figure out and correct.
